Detaching the pass for eEURO 2021 to be able to defend this summer the European title won a year ago, the first historic trophy put on the bulletin board by the FIGC in the world of eSports: this is the goal of the eNazionale Timvision Pes, which on Monday 26 April will be involved in second leg of the qualifiers for the continental tournament. Italy, which despite being seeded in the draw was included in an iron group with Portugal and England, collected four wins and one defeat in the first leg matches.
The team made up of Nicola 'nicaldan' Lillo, Alfonso 'AlonsoGrayFox' Mereu, Carmine 'Naples17x' Liuzzi and Raffaele 'Rafinter934' Pagliuca, the only new entry after the qualifying tournaments in which the FIGC gave away the four blue jerseys, has reacted to the initial knockout with the Portuguese (4-6) by beating Moldova with a clear 5-0 and then trimming 7 goals each to Iceland, England and Northern Ireland. The misstep with Portugal actually forces the Azzurri to win Monday's direct clash with the Lusitanian national team to reach it in first place in the standings and aim for a better goal difference, which after the first legs rewards Italy (+2 compared to Portugal).
A record that is worth access to the European Championship given that the 10 winners of the groups will qualify directly to the final phase, while the 10 runners-up will be divided into two groups of 5 teams, with the first 3 classified of each group going to the phase final to be held on 9 and 10 July in London.
The Azzurri will 'take the field' at the TIM Space in via Magolfa in Milan and the matches will be broadcast from 4.45 pm in live streaming on Timvision, on the eNazionale website and on the Twitch channel of the FIGC.
